Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My father decided to deprive the daughters of their inheritance and told the sons to take it all. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
We say: There is no obedience to any created being in disobedience to the Creator, and this is injustice, may Allah protect us from it. Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nisa 4:7], and it is not permissible for anyone to be deprived of the inheritance that Allah has prescribed for him, nor to be prevented from it. And in the hadith: Sunan Ibn Majah 2703Da'if (Darussalam), it is not permissible for a person to deprive of what Allah the Mighty and Majestic has given him; rather, he gives people their rights and does not wrong them, especially women and heirs; he gives them their rights from the inheritance that Allah has prescribed for them.

For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.
